>sci-fi game>earth is called "terra">money is called "credits">the government is called "the federation"
Space sci-fi is the most boring shittiest "genre" ever devised.
fantasy game money is gold pieces
Has any game ever called earth Tellus? It's such a banger name that I haven't heard in over 20 years.
>>739138528How is it that UC Gundam got it correct with the one world globalized government being inherently corrupt and unsalvageable immediately after its founding?
>>739139130Tellus... where you heard that name
>all the alien races either think less of humanity and call them apes or vermin or barbarians >which is another point, they somehow all speak perfect English
Sex with Sayla.
>>739139609Where are her nipples
>>739139461 The idea of Laplace's Box is so fucking funny to me, like the feds hated the spacenoids from day 1 so they stole the constitution just so they couldn't have rights
>fantasy setting>people say "what on earth"
>>739140235IIRC weren’t the original spacenoids the equivalent of the convicts sent to Australia but as a two fold effort of depopulating an overcrowded earth?
>Sci-fi setting.>Humans are diverse in how they look and their cultures.>Aliens all look the same and have one singular culture.In a slightly related note>Planets are a singular biom with zero diverse environments, vegetation or animals.
>>739138528>mfw my sci fi setting avoids all of thisbased.
>>739138528>sci-fi game>story takes place on a terraformed planet centuries into the future>the world building is autistically in-depth with each country having its own history, culture, architectural style and even a flagThis is a friend of mine. I think he enjoys thinking out the setting more than doing something about the fucking bugs I told him to fix :^ )
hathaway 2 was excellent
>>739140587>Aliens all look the same and have one singular culture.I hate this one but lets not kid ourselves 99% of writers incapable of writing different cultures for alien races either due to laziness or lack of creativity. You'll always have the unga-warrior race (Krogan, Orks, Mandalorians), the pretty race or utopian ones (Asari, Twileks, Draenei), the super scientific race who are sociopaths and ignore all moral ethics (Salarians) and the militarisitc, disciplined races like Turians and Vulcans. >Planets are a singular biome with zero diverse environments, vegetation or animalsThis one annoys me but its possible for planets to just be one biome if we go by our own solar system.
I only care about sci-fi if the ayys are defeated by human culture being too cool for them to resist. Every other setting is fucking stupid.
>>739138528>sci-fi game>Earth is called "Lost Jerusalem"
>>739139609Came here to post this
>Sci-fi game oposes humanity against a threat (robots or aliens) that vastly outnumbers and outguns them>Actually they're all part of a very convenient hivemind so you only really need to kill one singular robot/alien leader and the rest will immediately shutdown :^)
>>739138667It's the only real genre along with fantasy.
>>739139461Because it's just a retelling of WWII and they already made their own country look bad enough by portraying them as genocidal space nazis, so they had to make America bad in some way.
>money is called “credits”This one PISSES me off holy shit. There are so many different official and slang names for currencies. It’s such an easy way to flesh out a setting in a natural way and so many sci fi games just use credits. Lazy and uninspired.
>>739138528They were already tropes in the golden age of sci-fi. I think it was Doc Smith that coined "credits". Heinlein always called them Terra and Luna.It's just the sci-fi version of "elves" and "orcs" everywhere.But what I'm interested in is why no one talks about the Space Patrol anymore. You can't have the Terran Federation without their famous Patrol!

>fantasy is a longing for the past>sci-fi is a longing for the futurewhat genre is quite content to exist in the present?
>>739140235Even funnier when it turns out revealing its contents did literally fucking nothing>>739140393A mix of poors forcibly relocated, volunteers looking for jobs, and retarded elites like Deikun (yeah he was born later, but his ideas didn't come from nowhere).
terranigger
>>739140587>aliens are baffled that humans managed to make it into space without the leading power of the planet genociding all competing tribes first
>>739138801realistic, before Jews got involved money used to actually be a physical asset.
>>739142503>retarded elites like DeikunShut the fuck up feddie, Deikun was proven right about everything
>>739138528Earth is also Terra, our moon's name is Luna and our sun's name is Sol, we just call it Earth more often because it sounds better after centuries of referring to it as such.
>>739142503Look at the cab driver who dismantles hathaways retarded whining and posturing with the sinple important fact him and his matter more than hathaways fairy tale hypothetical
>>739142929Those are just the latin for earth, moon and sun. You call it earth because you're speaking english.
>>739143373Except in modern science, the moon's name isn't moon, it's Luna. Just like the sun's name is Sol. Yes, those were the Latin names for them, but it's the modern scientific term too. It's just that we use Planet instead of Earth, so we don't have a regular use for Terra outside of using Latin terms like Terra firma.
>>739143816How is that an "except"?It doesn't contradict anything, you fucking retard.Yes, science uses latin for things. Brilliant observation, retard.Fuck you, you're retarded.
reminder that zeon was objectively correct and everyone would've seen it if the zabi's hadn't fucked everything up
>>739142503>Deikun was proven right about everythingExplain Cosmo Babylonia or Zanscare.

>sci fi game >it ends with the hero of the story beating sense into their antagonist both physically and metaphorically
>>739145554still hilarious that Amuro’s last moments in life are being utterly flabbergasted that Char admitted his issues began with his mother
>>739145772It really is a perfect final moment for them
Say what you will about Gquuuux. It rivals IBO with the amount of JP shitposting it spawned.
>>739145281Fa is one of those characters I appreciate more over time.
>>739138528>>the government is called "the federation"Oh yah? Well what would YOU call a world government made up of a federation of individual country's governments? Huh??
>>739146338Perhaps some sort of Confederacy... roger roger

>>739146564A New Cope and the Andor series are better than most Gundam series outside of Zeta and 0080 albeit.
>>739146564>spoilerTNG and DS9 better than like 3/4 of Gundam series

>>739138528Needs a Season 2 focusing on Amuro this time, and zero Char screentime.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCKcLqsDMuw
>>739146564I used to think this. Turns out I hadn't seen enough Star Trek. It has plenty of lows but it has more highs over all than Gundam.Star Wars is pure slop however. An example of the sum of good parts being a shallow product. Best vidya of the three franchises though.

>For nearly a century, the majority of mankind has called outer space home, bearing and raising their children there. However, the existence of the lush and verdant Earth adrift in space still allowed the existence of others to eat the bread of idleness.>Among them, two men, once fierce enemies and later uneasy allies, were enthralled by the same woman. As time passed, the two men made space their home, though each for their own intentions.>A third time was about to be, but that was not because fate ordained it for the two. Instead, it was their resolve that worked that way.>But that wasn’t planned either.>The two had flexibility in their resolve, enabling them to adapt to each new phase in a changing situation. A fear of suffocating from being rutted to one point, bound to one will, must have made them develop such a habit.>But humans are beings having only one body. Memories accumulated deep within their bodies, mixed with their emotions, bind them from becoming what they should be.>For this reason, yearning for change, they desired to challenge one another. If they had encountered others who could truly test them, the two should not have come into conflict.>Yet unfortunately, they could not find any new Newtypes around them.
>>739148990Ignoring the brown having a melt down its true.Tomino has notes about AUEG being funded by a rich zionist who wants all goys to go to space so jews can reclaim the holy land (no really look it up) while Trek is a space utopian setting (looks like communism).
>>739141705Such as?
>>739143816science is still performative. Go ask any modern astronomer and adjacent fields and they are just going to call it "the sun". Only total dickwads are going to call it by their retarded 2000 year old names.

You can like it, but a lot of it is just pure garbage.Star Wars is mostly the same, you wade through a lot of putrid shit to get brief glimmers of good things, but the difference is, Star Wars has way way way way more shit clogging things up.But Star Trek is mostly straight ahead and good, simply because it's episodic.
>>739141298>real genre>fantashitLet us not get ridiculous, now.
Machu's butthole
>Isn't Camille a girl's name?
>>739149364>But Star Trek is mostly straight ahead and good, simply because it's episodic.No that's why its about as shit. There's plenty of trash episodes of even the good shows and then everything outside of TOS, TNG and DS9 ranges from meh to awful. >>739149451Uh huh. The Borg who are seen as an existential threat to the point the federation wanted to take the chance to permanently genocide them...they're actually the secret good guys the show wants you to root for.You're not one of the smarter shit posting retards, are you?
>>739149364>Char’s Counterattack>novels I know you did not fucking read >not including Gundam X >not including Build Fighters S1fucking despise CCAfags
>>739139130Better keep it that way since I'm still hoping Earth goes back to being called Tellus one day IRL.
>>739149656>TKD Nigga you ain’t doin shit, you’re just a fag larping in a Gundam thread
>>739149631>No that's why its about as shit. There's plenty of trash episodes of even the good shows and then everything outside of TOS, TNG and DS9 ranges from meh to awful.Yeah, but those shitty episodes are often contained only to themselves.When Gundam has a shitty episode, that's a shitty episode that will be relevant going forward. When ZZ completely fucks up Puru's death and makes it seem like not a single character actually liked or cared about her, that's far worse than a Star Trek episode where Picard seems like a sociopath for a bit or something.Star Trek being episodic also means it doesn't have the consistent Gundam AU problem where literally every second half among the AUs completely shit the bed and ruin everything, which is why I can't hold Gundam in that high a regard. >>739149710>>Char’s CounterattackIt's a good movie.>>novels I know you did not fucking readNope, I did.I think about Hathaway's gay ass internal monologues about wanting the people he associates with to seem notable all the time, and every other paragraph from Amuro in his novel is the funniest fucking shit ever. There's an entire passage about his wet dreams, it's great. >>not including Gundam X It's great right up until they go into space, and after that point it spirals down.>>not including Build Fighters S1I have no interest for any of the Build series.
>>739149656Ah ok. I'm being tricked into thinking good space communism is good by being shown bad space communism. These jew tricks or whatever are complicated.No one tell this guy that the borg are only in TNG and the writers drop them almost completely because they're impossible to write.

>>739138528holding hands with sayla
>>739149304And they'd also refer to it as the Solar System. Or Lunar phases. etc.Sun and moon are ultimately generic terms. There are other moons orbiting planets besides ours. Other suns in other systems. Our specific sun and moon are named Sol and Luna. Not sure why that offends people as though it's trying to sound too smart. It's fucking fact
>>739138528earth is called Terra in real life, that's the name of our planet, it's only earth in english, our sun also has a name, it's called Sol.
>>739149710>>739149856Here's some lines from the novels that I highlighted if you need more assurance that I read them.>"Girls like Gigi aren't exactly uncommon.">The Captain's comment slightly wounded Hathaway's pride.>He longed for those he knew to be exceptional. Being characterized so plainly made him feel belittled.>Hathaway let Masam leave the Captain's room first, then asked the Captain, "Is Gigi's personality really that common?">"I can't say for certain. That's merely what Emerald and Mihesha mentioned.">"Mihessia is the hypersensitive type. So her judgment isn't dependable.">Hathaway sought to dismiss the assertion, but in truth, Mihessia Hence's character assessments were quite accurate.>"The Captain must be great in the sack, huh? I bet he even asked you for oral and anal, didn't he?">Gigi chuckled, feeling Mace's neck twitch.>"...!?">As Mace's upper body recoiled, her left hand flew towards Gigi's cheek.>Gigi didn't dodge, and a loud slap resounded.>'I must have a grudge against women in general...since I was the child of a mother like that...' >Amuro was able to acquire such an audacious understanding of himself after learning worlds like "mother complex" and as he masturbated he started to find that he was aroused by not only normal pornography but BDSM as well. >'I want to reject female genitalia...even though I like looking at them so much.'>He was even able to come up with the theory that his desire to enjoy the erotic, when combined with the urge to forget such impulses, resulted in a new desire to destroy women's bodies.>However, he was also concerned it might be a dangerous sign that a regular naked woman wasn't enough to sexually arouse him. This was why he absolutely did not want Fraw Bow, a healthy and wholesome girl, to catch wind of his fetishes. So, he remained very aware that he needed to keep presenting himself as a normal boy to her.
>>739149856>When ZZ completely fucks up Puru's death and makes it seem like not a single character actually liked or cared about her, that's far worse than a Star Trek episode where Picard seems like a sociopath for a bit or something.Eh while you have a point its not like Star Trek never has continuity and never fucks it up monumentally. I attribute the lows in both series to the chaos of broadcast television. Deadlines or quick rewrites. That kind of thing.>>739149927k. sorry you got mind raped into not being able to enjoy trek. some p great television if you ever grow out of that.
>>739150125I feel like a lot of people here would relate to the Amuro and Lalah novel a lot.>This reminded him of the wet dream he had woken up from this morning. The girl hadn't been in it. It was almost as if the dream itself was symbolic of her...he had been in the harem of some ancient Middle Eastern kingdom, and as a lustful belly dancer shook her female equipment at him, she asked, "Is it really such a lamentable thing, to have been born here?">As she said those words, he ejaculated.>The disgust over the fishy odor of the white fluid, and imagining whether similar experiences had led to his father becoming an engineer left Amuro feeling hollow in the early morning hours.>Fraw Bow, a girl in his daily life, was not an object to which the adjective "sexy" could be applied. If he had to describe Fraw Bow, she'd be a nosy woman with puffy cheeks. Despite the pair of curvy legs protruding from beneath her skirt, when she complained to him about her period cramps he didn't know what she was talking about, aside from the understanding that she was annoying.>Fraw, a meticulous busybody of a girl, still continued to brazenly show up at his house, even after Amuro had discovered the adolescent knowledge of masturbation.>"Mother is with a man, a man who isn't father." Her face in his memory had given it away even then, he told himself. He had stayed silent and departed their house, clutching his father's hand, but it was likely that he thought, "My father is a pathetic man."

>>739150686What the fuck even IS a credit anyways? Like, physically? How is it credit if it's physical? They're often depicted as these weird computer chip things. The fuck am I supposed to do with this? So it's like a credit card with 2 dollars on it?

>>739150937The only thing I remember them saying specifically is that fantasy is more about personal character arcs while sci-fi is more about lessons for civilization, and from what I've seen that's pretty much true. Most fantasy authors are just daydreamers nostalgic for the simplicity of the past; the summer of Western civilization. But most sci-fi authors are borderline political activists. When you're telling a story about the future, you're obviously setting yourself up to create a setting where humanity advanced because of something - and whatever that something is reveals your politics. For example, the entire reason Gene Roddenberry made Star Trek is because he wanted to paint a future where all of humanity treated each other equally. Nowadays, that sentiment has become the dominant religion in the West, but it doesn't make any sense logically. Star Trek even has the Prime Directive, which the writers somehow didn't realize contradicts Roddenberry's vision. The idea that our species needs to all work together and suck each other's dicks in order for us to go to space or something is ludicrous, but it's what a lot of vocal scientists and sci-fi authors (re: propagandists) believed in the 60s and beyond. For no good reason. Imagine aliens looking at Earth and seeing white Americans create automobiles and harness electricity and go to moon and they're like, "Yup. This is only possible thanks to Kintu Kinte from the Congo. He must have helped, surely."I honestly just dislike the aesthetics of sci-fi. Sci-fi is always made by turbo nerds, which means they have no sense of aesthetics and want to be "practical" with everything, so inevitably the characters all look like they're dressed in condoms and everything has that sterile, ball-less Apple look. Fantasy is designed around our feelings, intuitions and cultural heritage, so you have dudes walking around in big, comfy robes and there's hard wooden tables everywhere and the smell of burning timber.
>>739145990Haven't seen GQuux yet. Why didn't people like it? I stopped watching AU stuff after how bad IBO was, but I feel like Anno deserves a shot.

>>739152651The F91 suits and both versions of the Victory Gundam look great. Really only the Zanscare suits are ugly as shit.
>>739152328>based on dumb feelingsNo. What I think is entirely based on logic and science, though feelings are not always dumb. You evolved feelings for a reason. The problem is stories need to have a point and as I get older I care less and less about what some faggot artist thinks is true. So the message in sci-fi stories often feel like they're just getting in the way of me enjoying the world and characters. Of course, that's by design, the world and characters are secondary to the message in sci-fi. That's why fantasy is superior. Fantasy is entertaining on its face, it doesn't need a message beyond good trumps evil. You can simply enjoy the romance of living in an idyllic world when women were still chaste and men could solve any problem with steel and words. Meanwhile, sci-fi authors are over there trying to teach me that I need to let savages rape my women or else I'll be doomed to never explore the endless emptiness of space and look at rocks...

>>739152867>Me unga>Story complicated me no like>Good guy beat bad guy, that what Unga likeA lot of modern scifi is very up its own ass, and mired in current day politics, true. Especially if you're looking only at stuff nominated for Hugos and Nebulas. But being "simple" is exactly why I can't stand most modern Fantasy. I WANT my fiction to try to say something, and not be the literary equivalent of Marvel movies. There is fantasy out there that does this. And it enriches the genre.

>>739138528>Sci fi>everything talks in english
>>739153330I don't really get the praise Zeta gets.The entire first third's plot is driven primarily by unsupervised teenagers stealing gundams and defecting back and forth seemingly at random. And every adult in charge just consistently lets them get away with it.Then the latter half is everyone just wandering off in the middle of a pitched battle to have autism fights/philosophy battles with their rival of the week.I don't expect gundam to take military doctrine seriously but Zeta just completely throws it out the window and I just started laughing every time someone breaks out of the brig to steal a gundam and the commander just goes "damn kids, but let them go". It happened so much I knew the second someone was in the brig they'd be out and in a stolen gundam within the episode.
>>739153116Xeno a shit
>>739153715These sorts of complaints really piss me off. It's an entertainment medium that is mostly visual. Of course it's going to have people talk in english. It's an abstraction. Do you think normies are going to play your game where most if the time they have to read the subtitles?!

Why is sci-fi practically dead but fantasy is almost doing better than ever?
>>739155504Does he wear a mask?
>>739155365Her death and kamille’s relationship with her as his sister mother is one of the best in the franchise. It’s sincerely heartbreaking even rewatching it now
>>739139130Kia Telluride
>>739155365of all the bad shit reccoa did, getting the one decent woman who proved her ideology wrong killed while ranting about how bad men are was probably the worst
>>739155564sci-fi was heavily redditized and gay and lost all appealfantasy is already pretty far down the same track it just hasn't fully set in for normalfags yet because they never notice until something is completely rotten inside and out
>>739155582Everything about her is amazing, especially since she takes out worst girl. I hated most of the characters in the second half (especially Kamille and all the girl's he tried to save) but Emma saved the show for me.>>739155564Because we have AI now and are living in a dystopian surveillance world. There's no more cool speculative work, just sad reality.
>>739138528> fantasy game> Earth is called Gaia> money is called Gold Points> government is called the Empire
>>739155567Multiple times. In various ways. Let's just say this is even a key plot development.
>>739146564Star Wars original trilogy + Thrawn trilogy + New Jedi Order beats Gundam 0079 + Zeta + the second half of ZZ hands down.
>>739155728Maybe when you're like 6 years old and like toddler tier characters like luke skywalker.
>>739155567Of course he does, as per contract!
>>739155728George Lucas and anyone who worked on Star Wars by proxy is sincerely too stupid to create a world or characters like anything Tomino has done.
JUSTICE! Let ourboy go free!
>>739141705I quite like that project moon actually bothered coming up with a unique name for the money that is used in their setting, "ahn" it rolls off the tongue nicely with its singular syllable
>>739155674We needed more of him
>>739138528>the moon is green and covered in trees >also pulled closer to earth>climates are all screwed up>it's been so long it's hard to discern what creatures are native and which were brought by star men>the earth is called urth>sun is dimming>so far in the future technology has regressed and gone all over the fucking place and became indistinguishable from magic>meanwhile the protagonist is a mad man

>>739155564Wonder
>>739152007>For example, the entire reason Gene Roddenberry made Star Trek is because he wanted to paint a future where all of humanity treated each other equally.Not even remotely true. His original plans for Star Trek were all his own personal revenge fantasy against Christianity because he didn't like how his parents made him go to church as a kid. He originally wanted Spock to look like the stereotypical devil. Roddenberry was a hack.
>>739153275>bad guy from filler ep is obsessed with motorcycleslol how silly>comes back 15 or so episodes later to be in charge of all Zanscare weapons development>suddenly everything is based around wheels>they're unstoppably strong wheels>that one pretty important dude just flying into a big wheel and dyingthis is when I knew Tomino had completely given up on this show
>>739156916and then after that you're meant to feel bad for him when he diedtomino must have gone through a biker phase or something
what was the first to use 'credits'? first game I heard it in was Mass Effect
>>739156975And that funeral episode was pretty well done on its own too iirc. Better directed than the ep where he died.Its probably bullshit but I remember hearing that executives forced him to take the show to space so they could sell space battleship models. So he made a space battleship with wheels so they could take the ships back down to earth.
>>739149284>In the original proposal document, Yoshiyuki Tomino described Carbine as Jewish and controlling AEUG in order to force humans into space "in order to reclaim the holy land of Israel for the Jewish people". Tomino described this relationship to AEUG and its mission as "very similar to the way the Jewish people control Hollywood". The document insisted these details not be addressed in the series, and none of this information is present in ZetaHoly fuck if true

>>739157745Fuck, I somehow didn't read the word "game".
>>739156198literally just read this shit this year. and it's fucking kino. people say sword of the lictor is peak but citadel was story kino and peak retarded giga comedy finale.
>>739157750You mean weapon manufactures who sell weapons to both sides once OG Zeon is completely and utterly fucked. It's the military industrial complex/US tech sector, as a lot of the engineers at Anaheim used to be Zeeks.

>>739158083>all those bad end series>characters look super happyIt's like a reverse Build Fighters, as its canon that Uso, Kamille, Mikazuki, Bernie, Flit, and Amuro. And sadly getting proper shading done to the 3D models is the best way to make the 3D animation not look as "off" as its been, sadly no one has the time or budge to make those "fixes."
>>739139461Gundam Wing did it better.
>>739149364>cca>highsit's mid as fuck and the only reason to praise it is for the visuals people kept hyping it up like it was some masterpiece of mecha and it's just amuro and char fucking around until char reveals he's mommypilled and they both dieit was better than zz but not by much
>>739139609Yee. Grabbed her regular figure and her bikini fig a while back. Before prices got even more fucked.>>739139461>inherentlyMy dude, Zeon was barely formed and it was somehow even more corrupt and shit than something as old as the Federation.
i wanna get into gundam but i heard the female characters are basically always poorly written or only exist for the male characters, is that true?
>>739158381tomino writes the most realistic female characters
How did nobody on the shareholder board have enough sense to veto a name like "G-Cucks"?
>>739158306you will never see animation like that againthat alone makes it worth watching and beng preservedchar been torn up about lalahs death does not detract from the story even in the leastyouve got some brain trouble to deal with if thats teh biggest gripe you have with it
>>739158381No, they are realistic
>>739158471my main gripe with the film is that it effectively resets amuro and char to where they were at the end of msg, just olderi understand that explaining all the shit that happened in zeta and zz was unfeasible in a single movie, but they could've done better than two throw away lines about their time in the aeug and haman's deaththe movie is also really weird about killing characters off, it dedicates so much time to them and they all just die and nobody really cares, i get that it's 'realistic' but it's still a questionable story movealso the use of star wars sfx was really distracting
>>739158758You forget that before it was a movie, it was intended to be a OVA proper, sorta like how F91 was supposed to be an OVA to tell a longer more well plot out story, and then some exec decided that spending as much on an OVA seems stupid, so they push it to a movie, which gives them more money for runtime, but far less time to tell the story that was initially conceived.
>>739142252Anything by gunfags and carfags will invariably take place either today or in the 20th century
>>739159159i thought cca was supposed to be zz before tomino got ok'd for a movie, and f91 was supposed to be a 50 episode show that got forcibly condensed
>>739158609that whole interview is solid goldit's like he was interviewing for director of the based department
>>739159241Pretty sure ZZ was always ZZ, hence why the only real recurring past character was Bright and Haman. Oh, and Mr. Violate as the ineffectual badguy. Pretty sure F91 was just a short story that was more built to be a OVA, akin to either War in the Pocket or 0080.
Fuck kinda series name is Gcuckx?
>>739159351Gotta link or name? I've only ever seen the images.
>sci-fi game>money is called sats
>>739144550Zeon cuck detected
>>739159694feddie propaganda
>>739152091The premise is built on something hokey and it then tries to go ultra hard on memberberries to the detriment of its main characters while only having 12 episodes. The music is good at least.
>>739159754>nooo true zeonism has never been tried!
>>739159809>nooooo you cant kill the hecking wholesome chungus civilians
>>739158381Tomino understands women like very few male authors ever have.
>>739159870Anon, you are not the main character in that universe, you are one of those poor fucks that will get crushed to death by a spent ammo casing from a mobile suit's gun.
>>739158306>Not appreciating one of the most beautiful portrayals of hope defeating nihilism.
>>739159976Or crushed gruesomely by the rubble of the battle.
>>739159809>attack on a hardened military target that Earth was primarily using to launch nuclear missiles at space colonies that were declaring for Zeon, irresponsibly broken up as it descended by the Federation military with no regard for the fact that the pieces would hit actual innocent people now>accelerationist attack meant to wipe out Earth's remaining productive farm land so they'd need to oppress colonies even harder triggering grassroots resistance from colonists (worked btw)>ham and corn chowder's "neo zeon" was unironically not true zeon, she was just trying to grab power under a zabi figurehead and she couldn't even hold her bullshit faction together>Char was right that nothing would ever change as long as Earth was artificially propped up as the center of human civilization, because nothing ever did after he was stopped
>>739159976yeah, i'm thinking based
>>739155674>>739156165Shar ga kuru
>>739158306But anon, Nu Gundam is cool
>>739145990For a series that on paper should be extremely impenetrable to newcomers it did an impressive job making a lot of people go watch 079.
Why were Mirai and the kids just in the middle of the nowhere as the asteroid was approaching? Surely the family of a high ranking military officer would get priority bunker access
>>739160162Jaburo was just the Federation HQ, they weren't nuking colonies that wanted independence. Jaburo was also in the rain forest, so Zeon was betraying its nature preserve ideology. Forcing a food crisis also just makes you the asshole, not a hero. Haman was no different from the other Zeon factions, and the Turn X tech came from outside the solar system.
>>739148508I didn't know they were a Gundamfag. For me it's the one with the track tomboy.
>>739139461Total Earth Death
since this is the VIDEO GAMES board, what's your favorite gundam vidyafor me it's zeonic front
>>739147785Not like that other one
>>739149364Absolutely abhorrent opinion
>>739160364Bright wasn't high ranking enough and also had earned the ire of plenty of Feddie leadership, so his pull wasn't as strong as others.
>>739159392You're completely wrong about F91. It was supposed to be a 50 episode series.
>>739160495I still prefer Sayla and her pink nipples.
>>739160495She's completely right. Frau is a whore though unfortunately
>>739160743>pink
>>739160743You seething about your brown nips bro ?
>>739160736You're correct that it was supposed to be a full series but, with it having at least its first 13 episodes written down with proper screenplays, it could have easily been condensed into an OVA.
I've been wanting to get into the franchise but I got filtered after 15 episodes of the original series
>>739159694the zabi's started the war, not zeon the man
>>739160962try it again when you're older
>>739160962how? the show picks up at like ep 7 or whenever the elderly fuck off and keeps getting better
>>739138528>fantasy game>earth is called "middle-earth">money is called "gold">the government is called "the kingdom"
>>739161180after the first bad guy dies and they introduced his family members I guess my brain wasn't liking what I thought would be the direction it was going to take looking at how many more episodes there are to go through
>>739142028>>change gunpowder to some made up term like a gyrovibration matrixThat's sick as fuck.Where can I read the rest?
>>739142252slice of life
>>739160798Yes. According to Tomino.>>739160854>he doesn't knowAlso you fucks made me speed reread Gundam Sousei to grab a screenshot of this shit.
>aliens are just blue/red/yellow/green humans but with different spikes/tentacles/head appendages
>>739161921And what does that have to do with Sayla having pink nipples?
>>739160162Char was wrong cause everybody forced into space wouldn't make them not-retarded, they would keep being retarded. Life in late UC just got worse and worse as the feds lost more power over the colonies, not better. Then space people got retarded ideas like "let's kill all life on earth so we get to live there".Totally never a sustainable idea.
>>739158381Not at all! They're the best women written in fictionI love Ms. Reccoa
>>739162146she's a great character but a shit personi find it funny that the only people who actually bother to try and understand here character are here, everywhere else they just get confused and upset that she's a dumb bitch
>>739153351>I WANT my fiction to try to say somethingYou want a message, dude? I'll give you a fuckin' message. Gears of War has a message for you. What message is that? That killing aliens is your only option if they are out to kill you first.What, you don't think that's a worthwhile message? What are you, a communist? Alien sympathizer? Traitor.You think Wolfenstein 3D has no message? You think that killing a castle's worth full of evil Nazis is not a worthwhile cause? Have you not heard of something called "THE HOLOCAUST"? Have you never considered that perhaps we could have saved all those poor kikes if the French, instead of watching their shitty existentialist artfilms with their emo angsty messages, had been playing Wolfenstein 3D instead?And what about Space Invaders? What about the message, "Protect the Earth -- even if the future of the Earth is uncertain"? And who is to say that one message is less important than another? What could possibly be more important than the survival of the human race?And don't tell me that all those messages found in action games are very similar- what, do you think all those tens of thousands of emo artsy movies have different messages? I've got news for you sonny, at the end of the day there's only like a dozen fuckin' messages, and all that happens is they just get repeated ad nauseam with different graphics. The only reason some messages are heard more than others is because they ARE MORE IMPORTANT for fuck's sakes, and they have to be drilled into your brain from a young age, otherwise when the aliens attack you'll be all like, "Please, I don't wanna die! I surrender, but please don't take my Gardenia augusta flower arrangements and Barbra Streisand CD collection!"Bottom line is that pseudo-intellectuals like you are all faggots.
>>739140346>fantasy game>people say "jesus">call fire bombs "molotovs"
>>739149364The only good Gundam Is the original. Zeta is "fun" but it's totally aimless then everyone randomly dies in the last two episodes. CCA is shit, it ruins Char's character and a lot of other things feel off as well. Basically Tomino is a clueless one hit wonder. It is much like George Lucas actually.
Earth should be called Gaia
>>739152007>Sci-fi is bad because I'm racist
>>739152007I mean, multiculturalism IS inevitable. The world is like 100 times more multicultural now than it was 100 years ago, so obviously it's gonna be another 100 times more multicultural in another 100 years. Sci-fi is simply an exaggeration of the present. Of course there's gonna be niggers everywhere in the future. There's already niggers everywhere now, you think that's ever gonna change? Never
>>739162969Nah. Encounters in Space and Be Invoked prove that Tomino is a genius when at his best. He's just retarded a lot of the rest of the time.
>>739160962Shame. I was hooked by episode 1. I just finished watching OG with my wife. Downloading Zeta now.I want to FUCK Sayla
>>739165217 she never shows up again
Gundam thread Seed is better
>>739149291Brozouf.
>>739165217zeta is kinoit's about on par with the original for me, the only thing i didn't care for was a decent amount of the mobile suitsthe mkii is a top tier design though, one of the rare cases of taking the original look and making it better
>>739150874bitcoin miners, lmao
>>739166991no...NO!
>>739152690Based
>>739166992nah Wing's the best
>>739152091Anno doesn't deserve shit, he's a washout who hasn't produced anything good in three decades
>>739158124Is this a riff on the SNES Godzilla game but with SRW Fa portrait and battle assault Zeta sprite? I don't understand. Please explain.I'm so confused as to why this exists or where it came from.
>>739160962watch the compilation movies instead then you stupid zoomer.
>>739150597G Gundam sucks once you actually watch other good monster of the week anime and realize it has mostly nothing.I'm sure it's good if you're a child and it's one of the first of those kinds of anime you've seen, but by the time I watched G I had seen Getter, I'd seen Mazinger, I'd seen a lot of Brave, etc etc etc, and it quickly made me realize that Imagawa sucks at this since most of the episodes are the same.There's an art to crafting a good monster of the week show. It's why Youkai Watch is actually a really good anime and why a lot of Digimon anime kind of fucking suck, and also why G Gundam sucks. I wish it was good because I wish I could like it and post about it genuinely.>>739150684>>739152908>>739153330>>739158306>>739160565>>739162969I'm white so I wasn't around to respond to these when they were posted, but I don't care.Zeta's a maybe because its action is way less considered and way less interesting than anything in the original or even Victory, and as such it kind of drags.Char's Counterattack is great, I don't care if you think it ruins Char's character. Char in the original anime was a similarly pathetic man who held no true ideals, CCA Char is just more open to that fact.Victory is also pretty great. I have to imagine that if you hate it but love shit like Zeta or G you're probably just someone who gets their opinions from other people because a lot of Victory is just Zeta and ZZ but better.
>>739169108the meme already existed with godzilla in his place. its pretty old.
>>739147785So the one thing the Zeta novels have that differs from the show is you get to see inside everyone's heads as the narrator will just flat out tell you what they're thinking, and anytime we see into Kamille's thoughts he's just horny and thinking about having sex with one of the female cast members, usually whomever is currently in the room with him or most recently talked to. So we get plenty of scenes where Fa is talking about how her parents could be dead and Kamille is like "yeah that sucks" but all he's thinking about is "is Fa emotionally upset enough that if I tried to have sex with her now she wouldn't resist me?" He does this the entire series Haman shows up he's thinking about fucking Haman, Emma walks into the room, he's thinking fucking Emma, Reccoa, Rosamia, Four, Sarah, ect.I just find it funny because in any given scene when Kamille isn't saying something he's probably fantasizing about having sex with the nearest female. Fa is too good for this horny brat.
>>739146564I used to think this but then I rewatched both star wars trilogies and realized there's plenty of highs there and it's a pretty good franchise if you ignore everything not made by GeorgeSlop Trek is irredeemable garbage though. The worst star wars EU comic or gundam AU show is still ten times better than trek at it's best. There's a good reason it's the most dead of the three and only people above 50 even know what it is
>>739169125i've been meaning to watch victory, but i've heard the subs are dodgy and that it's pretty repetitive
>>739158285gundam wing was beyond retarded
>>739169525https://nyaa.si/view/1708835
>>739169389to be fair to kamille, that's probably an attempt at coping better to think about that than all the people he's killed
>>739169560thanks bruv
>>739169389thats horrible. lmao
did anyone else get fucking owned by not reading what urdr hunt was about and see it at the movies and it was one of the biggest pieces of shit youve ever seen?I shouldve known. IBO series 1 fucking sucked too, dogshit shonen garbage (save for maybe the final ground battle) but this was a whole other level
Any thoughts on Dunbine? So far I'm enjoying it but I'm only halfway through.
any Rainchads ITT?
>>739169429This post just reeks of arrested development. Sorry you like Slop Wars
What the fuck does this thread think about Animorphs?Like holy shit that was a Sci-Fi franchise that ought to have everything going for it, but got fucked over by the shitty TV adaptation and a bunch of ghost writers. It's actually incredible how something that was pushed so hard at book fairs and the like ended up dying so hard instead of breaking out into mainstream popularity.
>>739170873I haven't thought about Animorphs in ages and I barely even remember anything about it but God I fucking miss book faresI only ever got the Animorphs books because of the batshit insane book covers
>>739169595>better to think about that than all the people he's killedHmmnn, maybe or maybe not. Most of the protagonists seem to quicky adopt Amuro's healthy and correct mindset of. >This is war. Don't want to die, don't attack me as an enemy combatantThroughout the series it's pretty refreshing to see how openly dirty Amuro fights using every trick he think of to make sure he survives each sortie.
>>739170859I like Allenby more but Rain’s great too.
>>739145990I liked Gqux better than Z, ZZ, and CCAalthough, almost every Gundam that isn't written by Tomino is better
>>739168275apparently she was going to have a very important role in Zeta but the VA was busy in Africa doing a safari or some other retarded woman shit so they had to write her out
>>739170974>This is war. Don't want to die, don't attack me as an enemy combatantI’m quite fond of the Uso Ewin model, where he hates killing people but even more than that he hates how good he is at it.
>>739170859G would've been the perfect romance story if it didn't have a random episode about her ex, why even make a whole ass episode about your main love interest being used goods, what did that add to the story
>>739170867This post reeks of a tranny. Sorry you like slop kek
>>739171168I wouldve thought you'd grow up eventually after 47 years of this show showing people having actual emotions.
How is it that /v/ has better /a/ themed threads than /a/ itself?
>>739171294/a/ got infested with retards who think the best series (actual dogshit) are action shounen trash because it's the most similar to some trashy western cartoon they grew up with.
>>739171294people with more than one hobby tend to be smarter, better people.anime only 'people' are sub human intelligence.
>>739171202>47 years of this show showing people having actual emotions.I do actually appreciate that Gundam actually gleefully shows women being women and isn't shy to do that, which adds something compelling to it that's barely present in most sci-fi. But it's otherwise so full of "made for TV anime" shit that I can hardly bring myself to watch most of it.
>>739171378>made for tv anime So better than the large majority of media live action animated or otherwise
>>739171178>dis nigga talkin about trannies while defending fag warsl m a o
>>739138528In my homebrew tabletop thing it was called the Terran CONfederation
>>739171294Because you discuss normalfag tier shit that everybody on /a/ already discussed and stopped caring about. Most of the anime being discussed in this thread are older than 4chan itself.Also, the irony to posts like this and these >>739171321 >>739171339 is that /a/ doesn't really have 'native' posters anymore. It's almost all just crossborders from /v/ now.
>>739171294This is the universal rule of 4chan: threads that should be on a different board are always better on off topic boards. It works in the inverse too. /v/ is one of the worst places on this website to talk about video games.
>>739171412I'm not at all someone who hates anime, but serial format anime almost always 'run dry' in some way and are compromised by a certain degree of shittiness, though I adore the enormous amount of interesting stuff they do that western media hardly does as well.
>>739171513I've had pretty gud vidya discussion on /trash/ of all places
>>739171457>stopped caring about No, it’s just that normalfag garbage has always been shit on, and not as some self deprecating meme. It’s just beneath the average anon. It’s actually amazing the amount of mental gymnastics normalfags will go to to try and justify themselves and their interests here
>>739171378>made for TV animeI used to feel this way but now we live in the era of endless LN adaptations and I stopped caring.
>>739171457How many modern /a/ posters have actually watched a Gundam series that isn’t Witch from Mercury, IBO, or GQuuuuuuX?
Reminder that kycillia could have been a mother lover to char and that it’s what she always wanted. But the damn brat rejected her at every turn
>>739171513>/v/ is one of the worst places on this website to talk about video games.I mean, I sort of get it, but /v/ is *way* better at actually discussing its board subject matter than most other boards are at discussing theirs. Like, video games are close to the one subject that actually *isn't* going to get better threads on other boards compared what you can get going on /v/.
>>739171658Char wanted a loli mommy not a fucking hag
>>739171559>No, it’s just that normalfag garbage has always been shit on,You can believe that, but the simple reality is that people get sick of discussing the same thing over and over again. Having a Naruto thread on /v/ is "fine" because chances are, people here will only see them once a month. But they get shit on in /a/ because Naruto has been getting multiple threads a day for over twenty years. Same with Gundam. Everyone knows the popular consensus on all the anime of note, and nobody is gonna be tricked into watching SD Gundam or whatever else, so there's nothing new there, so people don't discuss it in ways your kind would prefer.Like, look at /vr/ for instance. Every topic on that board is inevitably going to play out the same way everytime because every 'topic' is settled. Nothing new tends to happen with retro games (also why the board is basically dead).>>739171631Does it really matter? Watching old Gundam anime doesn't mean you have better taste in anime or whatever you're trying to delude yourself into with this post. Gundam has been bad longer than it was ever good for a start, but also, Gundam is just normalfag shit. You are able to buy basically every single Gundam anime, on BD, in English. That's normalfag as hell. Hell, most people here certainly watched almost all of their Gundam anime dubbed, or just watched compilation films. Would consider them on the same level as those /a/ posters you described.
>>739171419>trek troon still mindbroken by chad wars superiority decades laterKEKAROO
>>739171513Permabans for e celeb, /pol/bait, twatter shitposts when? Also for the subhumans who come here to take screencaps to then spam on their cumstain social media outlet of choice
>>739171658his kabi hate boner was stronger than his mummy fuck boner
>>739171687Its because you don't get bad faith shitposters in threads related to media that isn't talked about endlessly. The ones who habitually live on this board would feel confused or indifferent about seeing a thread relating to some /lit/ or /co/ related media that predates their existence or sphere of knowledge. I knew nothing of Mistborn until I saw a thread here and that decided to make me check it out. Alot of bands I've listened to got discussed here in a fucking thread that started with a jazz singer OP years ago.
>>739171457>tr/a/nny trying to blame the state of his shitty board on /v/Lmao>>739171294Moderation killed it, same thing happened to /tg/
>>739171774You can think that. But bottom of the barrel dogshit like JJK, SnK, Boruto, Naruto, Bleach etc has always been tongue in cheek mockery. Same way that capeshit on /tv/ used to be posted to make fun of how absolutely retarded it was. Until enough normalfags deluded themselves into thinking mockering was endearing endorsement of said garbage.
>>739150874>How is it credit if it's physical?Don't look into what a US Dollar actually entitles you to.
>>739171687It depends on what you define as “discussion”. If you want to dive into the daily nitty gritty and can tolerate endless shitposting then yeah /v/ is fine to discuss video games. But I don’t think that’s entirely unique to /v/ either. You can have anime discussions of a similar quality on /a/ or tabletop game discussions on /tg/ and gun discussions on /k/.But if you just want a relatively pleasant thread on something in a causal sense then an off topic board is almost always better. I’ve seen many nice /tg/ and /k/ threads in particular when they come up for video games
>>739171774Hmm is this why /a/ and even most boards suck now? Because you get proto-redditors who want to control the entirety of discussion and discourse on every board in existence?
>>739171030>really enjoyed Allenby's friendship with Domon>hoped that she didn't have romantic feelings for him because it was obvious that Rain was going to win>she had feeling for himMaaaannnn that was a little disappointing.
>>739171774>Like, look at /vr/ for instance. Every topic on that board is inevitably going to play out the same way everytime because every 'topic' is settled. Nothing new tends to happen with retro games (also why the board is basically dead).That was absolutely not true a few months ago. The 'reset' completely changed shit and now the board is dominated by shitposters, while previously it used to be the best place to actually discuss classic games.
>>739171887It's hardly an easy effort to wade through shitposts like "tranime" that offsite cancer will actually take as a serious opinion. Especially on /v/ which is and will always be a Puniru board. Every day we run closer toward enough idiots buying into a mentality that has only ever been a joke.
>>739171774>Watching old Gundam anime doesn't mean you have better taste in anime or whatever you're trying to delude yourself into with this postTaste has nothing to do with it and I don’t know why you would even think that’s what I’m suggesting unless you’re projecting. >Gundam is just normalfag shit. You are able to buy basically every single Gundam anime, on BD, in English.And? That should mean it’s right up /a/‘s alley for discussion. Unfortunately the modern /a/ user likely hasn’t watched a series made before 2016.
>>739138528>Sci-Fi game/story>Space faring humanity forgot the location of earthAsimov did it first btw. In 1940 I think.
>>739171943You can pinpoint the use of the buzzword "tranime" to when the sharty started to exist and pick up steam. They just got more emboldened to use it after /qa/ got deleted and the beginning of the great covid migrations that have and still are occurring to this day.
>>739171864I haven't used /a/ in like seven years (and haven't been on the catalog in about four), but it was crossborders that killed the board. A vast majority of the threads I saw the last time around were just shit you'd see here. That entire breed of posting that came from the DB threads and infected basically every other thread was transparently just standard /v/ fare of copypasting everything "funny" until it stops being funny (namely the old style of posting you'd see from Togashifags back around 2016). Also, moderation only killed /a/ in the sense that there wasn't enough. The most mods tended to do was publicly ban dumb questions and frogs, or just blatant trolling. Rarely would moderation be active in any non-general thread. >>739171871No, not really. Bleach sure, Naruto was kind of half and half, but SnK had a genuine big fanbase on /a/.>>739171910>control the entirety of discussion and discourseNo, it's really just that most people get sick of discussing the same thing everyday, especially when there is nothing new to be said about those things. Take Zeta for instance, every thread about Zeta on /a/ and /m/ is the same thread and has been for over a decade. Because there's nothing more to be said in those threads.>>739171931This is just completely false. /vr/ was a dried up husk of a board where people got their opinions from older forums for years before anything you describe, because that's who it appealed to. People still obsessed with classic Nintendo or "How to save the Dreamcast" are inevitably going to be those types of people.>>739172031Because anime is a current thing and so people will naturally be inclined to discuss the 150~ or so new anime instead of constantly wallowing in the past.>>739172150Tranime is just new age speak for weeaboo, I don't get the obsession people have over this term. It's nothing that new for insults either, people were using tranny as an insult for decades, and it happens to fit with 'anime'.
>>739141705I don't mind this to much because I've played games where they named their currency something so stupid and hard to pronounce that everyone just called it gold or credits anyways.
>>739172198>big fanbase Of mostly people shitting on it and only keeping it up with it to see how much further it would derail before it finally concluded it's crash and burn. It's like saying Kanokari has a big fanbase on /a/. When it exists solely for the purpose of making fun of it.
>>739172198>Because anime is a current thing and so people will naturally be inclined to discuss the 150~ or so new anime instead of constantly wallowing in the past.But modern anime is horrible now. Just an endless fucking sea of dogshit LN and manga adaptations for people too braindead to read the original material. So little original content is being made now.
>>739172198>but SnK had a genuine big fanbase on /a/SnK was genuinely one of the best shonen up until a point. /a/ being such turbo hipsters that they absolutely loved the manga, up until the anime adaptation got popular, was funny as fuck.
>>739172198>/v/ killed /a/ because, uhm, it was such a superior board /a/ posters adopted /v/'s posting style/a/ cope will never stop being funny, at least you finally admit /v/ was always a better board
>>739172198>BleachBleach and Kubo were a meme for so long that it turned into genuine affection. Probably didn’t hurt that Bleachfags somehow won in the end with their TYBW adaptation.
>>739138528>Terraonly really necessary if other species with languages exist, because earth also means dirt and rock.>creditsExtrapolation of digital money starting from credit cards. Could also be called shitcoins based upon current digital money models.>federationA federation is a union of multiple governments. It makes sense.
>>739142252>sci-fi is a longing for the futureMore like worrying about the future.
>>739138528I mean we already have 'credit' and are moving to a cashless society if things keep heading that way, so credits doesnt seem wrong to me. The alliance or the federation might seem standard but its not like the characters are going to start calling the government "The Democratic Federation Alliance of World Countries Glorious Union" or some shit. Like yeah obviously they need something short that rolls off the tongue and its not gonna be china or america for a 1 world earth government thats probably a little dystopian.
>>739172263>Of mostly people shitting on it and only keeping it up with it to see how much further it would derailThat's the cope most big fanbases on /a/ tended to have about things that ran longer than half a year. >>739172274Modern anime is horrible to you, the guy who probably only watches maybe one new show a year (and it tends to be the one most like all the other shit you've watched (braindead shounen action), so you end up constantly comparing it to nostalgic memories), but generally it's usually fine. I watched a couple good shows last season, got a few more good ones this season. Fall 2025 was alright, Summer 2025 was great, Spring 2025 was great, Winter 2025 sucked, etc.Also, it's ironic to be in the Gundam thread while bitching about a lack of original content.>>739172285It really wasn't. I read the manga starting around Chapter 6 I think, since it had one of the louder manga fanbases even by that point, and it always seemed like something a bullying victim would read, like a naroukei but somehow even more pathetic than a lot of those. At least Saito was having sex with Louise.
>>739172510>it always seemed like something a bullying victim would readWUT?
>/a/ is still seething over a new ova announcement that will no doubt continue to cover yotsubest's decisive victory It's like I am back in 2019 on that fately night when gook scans dropped.

>>739155380Ok rabbi
>>739172603>Haven’t watched a new show in years dude.Thanks for proving my point even more? I guess?>holy projectionI mean, I'm probably right. The average person who jerks off about how they read manga usually reads low-brow, low-effort slop that has no understanding of manga fundamentals, looks like complete shit, has awful paneling, and even worse storylines than you'd see during a typical winter season.
>>739172646>Thanks for proving my point even more? I guess?The argument was that the modern /a/ user only consumes slop. Nothing you have said refutes this.>I mean, I'm probably right.

>>739172809>The argument was that the modern /a/ user only consumes slop. Nothing you have said refutes this.Well I can't refute it because you don't watch anime.

Tomino thread? Tomino thread
>>739142620I like this one because it's true. We can already colonize Mars and have people bumming around Jupiter as far as technology goes. It would be harsh and expensive, but it's not impossible. The shuttle program was a total fuck up, but if instead of divesting from it the Americans used their ill-gotten dollar gains to double down, it could have happened. Turns out there are shortcuts for terraforming too so it could happen within a generation for Mars if we fully committed to it as a species. Once you're mining uranium on Mars and scooping helium3 from Jupiter's upper atmosphere with repeated flybys you're golden to go anywhere you want in the solar system at reasonable speeds. You can even build orbital ferry systems that can move mass from earth to Venus with barely any deltaV by leveraging orbital mechanics (load ship on perihelion, close to your source planet, unload at aphelion, closer to the destination, which has its own ferry intersecting the previous one at its own aphelion, then unload at the destination's perihelion)We have enough tech to be multiplanetary already, but we're having a demographic collapse all on our own because we're utterly retarded in our choice of leaders and tolerance of their compete failures, just because they lie all the time and we want to believe them.
>>739172867>Karakuri Circus? Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei? Say Hello To Black Jack?lolI mean, there are hardly any 'great manga', so I can't blame you for only posting shit on this level, but it's pretty much silly when I see anyone who claims to have 'elevated taste' in the medium.
>>739172937As it should be. It's not like when Nolan North is unavailable and you can just go down the street and pick up some random guy to fill in.
>>739173058I'm still legitimately skeptical that humans have ever managed to break past the Van Allen belts without fucking themselves over for life. I'd love to believe otherwise and see space colonization as a legit possibility.

>>739173337Speaking of shoujoshit does Escaflowne count as a shoujo?
>>739173004>Am I mistaken in saying that nearly all seasonal anime at this point are adaptations?You're mistaken in saying all anime sucks, and even more that an adaptation isn't worth anything. The best anime of the 1970s were adaptations, Ace wo Nerae, Rose of Versailles, and Ashita no Joe specifically. Very significant anime, the best of the decade, all adaptations, and all better than their manga counterparts. Extends into the 80s as well with Patalliro, but a lot of the 80s anime greats were original simply due to how the times changed thanks to those anime and others, creating a market of by otaku for otaku (ie SDF Macross, Gunbuster, Nadia).A lot of great anime today are also still adaptations. Obviously The Monogatari Series, but also Wit's work on Yaiba and Mob Pyscho, Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu, Ninkoro, CITY, etc.Even some great originals like ApoHotel or the current Rib Isekai (which is only an adaptation the same way Rizelmine or FMA 2003 were, it's largely an original work), and even the adaptations of hyper popular works like Jujutsu Kaisen are utilizing elevated techniques in their work that put them far above their original work.>>739173113I gave a shounen action, a dark comedy, and a medical drama. It's funny to see shittalk from people who won't even say what they like, and I never even suggested I had elevated taste. I just think most mangaka suck at making manga and utilizing their medium. The most popular current mangaka is Fujimoto Tatsuki, a man whose paneling moreso resembles storyboards and couldn't construct a good action scene to save his life despite making action manga. Also, it's funny that anime gets shit for being a lot of adaptations, when probably more than a quarter of manga currently running are LN adaptations.
>>739173391>adaptations of hyper popular works like Jujutsu Kaisen are utilizing elevated techniques in their work that put them far above their original work.Being badly animated is not a technique
>>739173519It also doesn’t matter one iota how good it may or may not look when the story writing and characters are all dogshit and they just fight all of the time
>>739173519>>739173574>mention techniques>retard immediately goes on about bad animation and "how good it looks" To put it in layman's terms, watching JJK3 was like if Naruto Shippuden suddenly had Shaft take over the series for a cour.

Every time I've tried to watch the "good" Gundam, it has been total shit. Wing? I got bored. Turn A? I sat through that, it was fucking atrocious. Zeta? Bored again. OG? Mediocre.The only Gundam I actually liked was SEED, which is the show everyone else says they hate, when it was awesome. I get the feeling western Gundam fans are just retarded.
>>739173369Some people call it shoujo
>>739173767It's a boomers seething about millenials thing
>Lalah Does anyone actually like her?
>>739138528That’s American Sci-fi, Americans have no sense of place or concept of geographic identity, everything to them is like through a translation layer of cartoony stereotypes or vague second hand imaginary worlds, so they’re never equipped to write or conceptualise an environment where planets are like modern nation states with their internal complexities and challenges, instead they’ll imagine the state of Texas having access to interstellar travel and all the universe is just other US states (federation, money is still a thing and very important, language/local norms barrier is not a factor), if you want better sci-fi read Boris Strugats, Iain M. Banks, and Cixin Liu might not be for everyone buy his work is highly original and interesting
>>739173369As a fan of a decent number of actual shoujo, Escaflowne was too girly and romance-novel-ish for me.Take that as you will.
>>739173767Gundam is a trillion times more digestible if you watch an episode a day, maybe 3-4 times a week, rather than binge watching it. Spread it out. It was designed for that, and classic UC entries have the battle-per-episode mandate that hurts the pacing. It was designed to take a while to digest.
>>739173204>>739173767Nostalgiafaggots will disagree but Z is a repetitive slog with shit pacing.ZZ is just slightly better but only because all the shitty part was concetrated in the first half and the rest of the series was actually planned beforehand.

>>739173602Let me put it in layman's terms too, it doesn't matter what technique they used, it looks like shit and is unwatchable
>>739174053I think you're just retarded honestly, since you can't even say why that is.

>>739138528"Terra" is way cooler than "Earth", and "Terran" is way cooler than "Earthling" and even a bit cooler than "Human"."Credits" and "The Federation" are very tired tropes though, I agree.

>>739174117Well it's a good thing that the best genre are still romcom and SoL.
>>739174192That's simply the format. Blame TV writing and mandates. You'd be hard pressed to find shows from that era that don't have issues like that.
>>739173767Seed is overly hated because of Destiny. Seed is fine, but Destiny is what poisoned the well.

>there are unironic feddies in this thread
>>739174225No, it's hated because Kira and Athrun suck and it would have been great if we got an on screen kill where we saw kira melt into a wave of plasma as he screamed in agony.
>>739174225I enjoyed Destiny almost as much as SEED.
>>739174209No need. People to this day not being able to understand the depth of Quattro's character to this day tells me all I need to know.
>>739174256Nah, they all have the same issues - including Macross.
>>739174282>that scene where he tells Kamille to go exercise to work off his temper tantrum instead of having a bitch fit at himLt. Quattro was great
Why s there no Sayla and Amuro romance in 0079 if Tomino put sex scene into novel?
>>739146338just watched 79 and I'm 24 eps into zeta79 was leagues better. it was just way more focused. why is tomino such a hack
>>739162146>I love the dumbest bitch of all timeAre you a woman that relates to her?
>>739174509After rewatching the horse shit that is the Origin. Rewatching 0079 is a great palate cleanser.
>>739158609>Tomino talks about how Gundam is anti-war>A bunch of retarded faggots online get smarmy and start talking about how the evil right wing fans are mad that it's not glorifying war>Tomino also correctly points out that the world is wildly overpopulated>Those same fags say "Um...Well... I don't exactly agree with him on that point!"
It's insane to me that so many people shit on SEED and Destiny (rightfully, to some extent) but then go on to suck off Wing. Wing fucking sucks and it doesn't even have that many good designs.
>>739174214Best genre is CGDCT though
>>739156198basedread long sun and short sun too they're fucking amazing
>>739174798A lot of people's first Gundam was Wing and I imagine most people haven't rewatched it to realize how fucking terrible it is.
>>739174817True. But sometimes they have really well done emotional moments out of nowhere and it makes me sad.
>>739174641>>Tomino talks about how Gundam is anti-warAnd Yasuhiko talks about "I'm proud that not a single member of the Gundam staff ever made the childish excuse that this is an anti-war, peace-making work"Based Yasuhiko dabbing on Tomino's uncborn manchildness
>>739173826I do
>>739175015Yas seethed so hard about Tomino that he wrote his own fanspiction over the course of 20 years that nobody actually read and is host to the most embarrassing Charwank in franchise history.
>>739175015Yasuhiko is too based. The Origin was a good upgrade over the OG 0079.
>>739175291
>>739175238And Tomino seethed about anything popular even while he was working on Gundam and no one cares what he did since. It's simply how it is, you either have the decency to accept you peaked and fade away into the background or you start having melties and everyone makes fun of you for being out of touch. Same shit happened with Kamiya in vidya. The difference is Tomino used to be good while Kamiya never made a single good game
>>739171294this is a /m/ thread actually
>>739155564In terms of mainstream, both sci-fi and fantasy are in a pretty bad spot if you'd ask me.>sci-fiWhile enjoyable, hard sci-fi has bled into every subgenre. There's nothing wrong with keeping things more grounded but for some reason it all gets into the same chokepoint where the big bad is some evil greedy corporate powerhouse.The mainstream need to explain everything is seeping into every aspect. Explaining some things are fun as you can connect it with contemporary science, but there shouldn't be anything wrong with "space metal, it's better than metal, that's it".>fantasyThe issue in fantasy is individualism taken to the extreme.The mainstream is interested in having characters that "breaks the mold" and "stands out" but then if all chracters stand out the art direction becomes an absolute mess.People will choose "being unique" over artistic cohesion and then completely forget somehow that if everyone stands out with their quirky colored tiefling, then your character will no longer stand out.Stereotypes are fun.Breaking stereotypes is also fun, but you can do it both while maintaining a cohesive picture as seen in the top fantasy part in picrel (female knight).The first two Conan movies are a great example of this. You can have unique characters without breaking the cohesion.The funny thing is, the bottom fantasy part wouldn't even be that bad if we just changed the colors to be similar like the top fantasy part.
>>739175387
>>739155564because people are getting dumber and browner. To understand sci-fi you have to at least have the mental capacity to understand a basic explanation of whatever new scientific concept the work is about. With fantasy "it's magic you don't have to explain shit".
>>739150919Even then there were different currencies of different sizes and precious metal contents. At no point did people ever call their currency "gold pieces".Especially since most people only dealt with tin, copper, bronze or silver pieces. A gold piece would have been like a year worth of wages. A silver one typically a month.
>>739169389Autistic AND horny? He's literally me.
>>739169389kamille is literally me....
>>739175558my issue with hard sci-fi isn't even the mentality but the consistent hypocrisy in building itIts never just >here's the one fictional thing to suspend your disbelief to, the rest plays by rules of verisimilitudeauthors just randomly pick and choose shit that plays by nonsense as they feel like which breaks the entire narrative

>>739138528Please play GBO2...
>>739176078The Hathaway novels are pretty much just a Hathaway character study where his death is inevitable. They were published before F91 finished production, but you know Hathaway's goals can only end in failure from the beginning if you pay attention. He's as shallow as Char and Amuro in motives and he's effectively an oldtype posing as a newtype, with constant aspirations for that supposed greatness embodied by Amuro. I worry the films might change the ending given that the main character just being detained and executed is hardly the type of drama that fits what will inevitably be a decade long film project.

>>739176000>if you're not a cuck like me, you won't be able to seduce women into letting you watchWhat did unc mean by this
>>739173369Escaflowne was one of Sunrise's early attempts at an original multimedia franchise made to appeal to everyone, along the same lineage as Code Geass or Valvrave. They assumed mecha would guarantee a male audience and thus went overboard trying to overtly appeal to young women.I wouldn't really characterize it as a shoujo because if you're in it for the romance you'll have to sit through the weekly mecha action quota, the creepy body horror doppelganger dude, the bisexual catgirl slave soldiers and the parade of potential love interests that just exist to kind of orbit the main character but never really present viable romance options because the bland mecha protagonist was obviously endgame all along. It's more like a jrpg story made into a show.Though once you see it you'll realize just how many popular characters in anime since are just "Folken but good"
>>739176250I dunno, I didn't really expect that ending when reading it. He's definitely wishywashy though but to just execute him and achieve pretty much nothing is so fucked up. No other Gundam has the protagonist fuck up that much and it's done in such a mean spirited way too. I legit wouldn't mind them changing the ending because that's just grim. Especially in our environment too lol.
Maybe unrelated, but anyone else have music like the one that plays when Hathaway dives underwater with the Xi? Any other anime have openings/endings that are american songs?
>>739176121I'd rather eat glass than play that garbage again. /m/ should've been purged from the site after the shilling campaign for this they did on /v/
>>739176396>notice Snooze is trending in spanish social media reelskek, i know the type of people you are.
>>739141705I would rather live in a universe with credits than one that say's you got crypto
>>739176361But the point is Hathaway shouldn’t succeed because he’s not fighting for anything worthwhile. He’s not as great as char or Amuro. He is fundamentally, lesser as are his goals. The epitome of a loser
>>739176401But how am I supposed to play my favorite grunt suit if the game is dead? Normalniggers only care about garbage MC suits.
>>739149291golds
>>739176473I mean, he does believe in Char's ideal but he thinks Amuro's too wishywashy (which is a bit ironic) for humanity to ever get along. The biggest problem is he's way too fucked up mentally to actually focus 100% on being Mafty. I don't really think that deserves being shot like a fucking dog. Especially when his motivations are noble. I mean in a meta sense, what even is the message here? We're turbo fucked? Doesn't matter what you do, the rich always wins bitch. Even if you try to make change in the world, you'll just end up a puppet for the rich.
>>739176361He shouldn’t achieve anything and Marty are inarguably bad people
>>739176436But crypto is the same type of boring generic name that describes the form the currency takes and not a name anyone would use as credit is. It's the same boring uninspired generic term as "coins" for medieval/fantasy settings or just calling money "money" or "cash" for near future settingsIf you want cryptoshit as your setting currency then name your shitcoin, if you want your setting to have "credits" then fucking name them something other than credits
>>739176361The thing with Hathaway is that, even compared to other Tomino novel protagonists, he's very pathetic and shallow in how he is written, and his entire narrative journey is one of slow self-destruction. Not in a comically over the top way, but in a very normal way where his personality causes him to drive people away for things that make him feel more special or important. I posted a passage earlier where he literally says he wants the people he associates with to be special.>The Captain's comment slightly wounded Hathaway's pride.>He longed for those he knew to be exceptional. Being characterized so plainly made him feel belittled.I wasn't expecting him to straight up be executed, but I did fully expect his complete failure and for him to ultimately accomplish nothing. It's also why he has no real connection to Lane Aim, whereas usually the main character has some kind of connection to the rival pilot.
>>739176597You can’t be a terrorist who kills a bunch of people and gets a bunch of civilians killed and go >buh imma good guy (who happens to be bass ackwards rerarded)

>finish Z>omg that ending was fucking crazy, i can't eait to see what happens in ZZ, the direct sequel especially to Camille>literally nothing happensI have no idea how this became a franchise.
>>739176475>But how am I supposed to play my favorite grunt suit if the game is dead?Wait until SKG gets passed so japs will have to released offline GBO2 with bots or wait for some autist to do it by himself
>>739176719>CamilleHow? You seen 50 episodes, how did you make that mistake?
>>739170873Well, it didn't fare well in the sphere of animation, but it did have an almost complete comic adaptation which was pretty decent (i believe there even was story dump threads at /co/)And to be fair to the TV show, while the writing was indeed shit and toned down to a episodic flop for teenagers (it WAS Nickelodeon, after all), the main issue was always going to be the animals and the transformations anyway. No way they could control birds or ants, for example, and some of the transformations were fucking ghastly, and leave them offscreened would have suck as well.In that regard, i'm surprised they never revived the series considering CGI is more available nowadays. Despite the sales factor, they often revive other dead series so i don't see why they couldn't bet on this one. The trick is never hype it so much, despite how desperate for profit you are
>>739176597The cab driver who dismantled Hathaway’s entire philosophy and motivations in a five minute car ride is unironically more intelligent than hathaway
>>739176689You can, you just have to succeed
>>739176597True. They should have bayoneted and disemboweled the little fuck trash
>>739176779Brother, so you're pretty much saying "idc what the government and politics do, I just gotta get food for tomorrow". This the so called argument you're going for?
>>739176884It’s the argument the cab driver went for and he won. Hathaway could not come up with a winning rebuttal.
>>739176884Me and mine first is the most human and objectively correct mentality in the history of humanity
>>739161004And Zeon people could've refused Zabi's call to war, could've overthrown them or ask questions about why the fuck should they even die on some dying planet.

>amuro >died martying himself for a lost cause>ascended to a higher plane of existence >paid just enough attention to hathaway in the following years enough to constantly shadow, belittle and tell him what a little bitch he turned out to beHe won you know.
>>739149291In an artificial environment, like a space station or a colony, everything necessary for the sustenance of life needs to be rationed and recycled in a closed system. You could easily pin the value of currency to your daily water ration or your electricity allowance.

Before the thread dies, is SRW any good? I don't really like how most of the games has one or a couple of series I didn't watch which triggers my autism. is SRW OG good? Mfw I played SRW 30 and it spoiled the shit out of the various series right from the opening.
>>739169389> Kamille is like "yeah that sucks" but all he's thinking about is "is Fa emotionally upset enough that if I tried to have sex with her now she wouldn't resist me?"That is exactly how I think in all social situations involving women I find sexually attractive.
>>739177697Which ones would those be?
>>739177782If you are afraid tof spoilers then don't play SRW until you will watch all series included

>Watching a youtuber review the Gundam TCG>Starts going on a random speal about how much SEED got his parents divorced, his gf to leave him, and stole all his moneyWhat the fuck is up with this series breaking millennials? I have never seen an anime make so many people THIS butthurt before.
>>739161702
>fantasy game>1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 100000 bronze coinsit's called the metric system look it up sometime dumbass
>>739178320Yes, I like the giant robot battle show that has good giant robot battles, are you dumb?
>>739178320>The actual things that matter are pretty dogshitBut you just agreed the fights are great?
>>739178402The best parts of gundam are where people are standing around talking to each other debating tactics and philosophy and nonsense. The battles are just extra flash
>>739177782I recommend watching the series first, but not watching one or two isn't a big problem. Obviously, you will miss some references and got spoilered. I was absolutely ecstatic when Bright slapped some teenagers. OG is good.
>>739178496Anon, just watch LOGH at that point, it's much better at that.
>>739178496Kamille and emma shitalking Char/Quattro and making fun of him in the hanger thinking he has a hidden identity that everyone is playing along with is one of the best, if not top 3 scenes in the 50 year history of the franchise.
>>739178380>review the Gundam TCGIt's just yet another episode of>Bandai fucking hates Digimon so they steal it's mechanics and slap a more marketable coat of paint on it to create their own competitionJust like with dragon ball and wanpiss. The problem is that while those are more popular due to spics they lack any sort of passion or talent on the development side of things so they play much worse than digimon (yes, including the absolutely terrible current state of digimon meta). Expect the same for Gundam, tons of (current show) cards for collectors to buy while the hype lasts but the game itself is shit to actually play. The pokemon model if you will
>>739178554No. I'll stick to gundam where the main focus is a character drama since episode 1.
>>739178585
>>739178639Yeah, that's cool and all but I need a side game from Yu-Gi-Oh and trying to find one that talks about the actual mechanics and meta of the game without going fucking autistic over some random hatred of a specific anime series seems to be a bit difficult. No seriously jesus fucking christ, what the hell did SEED do to people to warrant these unhinged rants over it.
Why was this series so popular if it's actually one of the bad ones?
>>739178554>/pol/ the show
>>739178764First entry exported to the west that gained steam.
>>739178764It's not bad, just painfully mid like 00
>>73917824308th is good but its flawed with how rushed the character arcs are
The F91 is fucking beautiful and easily one of my favorite gundam designs. Its up there with Nu Gundam and Zeta Gundam for me.The movie is merely okay.
>>739178764Also popular in the west =/= popular to the franchise at large. A lot of people sharded and pissed themselves over IBO. Where in Japan it's treated as a gigantic meme entry.

>>739178585>scene I barely remember before I took a break from watching Zeta is one of the franchise peaksMaybe I should accept that I'm only interested in gunpla and stop trying to force myself to watch the anime, I forgot most of 79 a week after I watched it too
>>739157562Downloading the movie rn hope ur not baiting
>>739178848Nips' IBO memes are great.
>>739178727>metaI didn't even know that it released, I thought they're still only showing promo packs? Bandai official channel had a tutorial going over the mechanics, but it's very dull so you might want to watch it at 2x speed and turn on subtitles as the music is louder than the voice actors they hired. You can also play it on TTS if you have that>YGODisgusting
>>739178856thats just how all tomino anime are. theres a lot of subtle touches and character interactions that are really neat but after watching the series for the first time you tend to forget them between all the other strange shit that happens, especially with zeta where the ending makes the strongest impression

>>739179061To me it just seemed like everyone is autistic and talks in a very weird, non-human way that makes them sound like robots trying to emulate what humans would talk like.

>>739169125I've watched Braves series, all of Imagawa's other stuff, read all of Getter and even read Shin Mazinger because I didn't need to wait on fan scanlations. G Gundam is great.
>>739179519 (me)To name an example I remember so I'm not just vague posting - right at the start when the zaku team dies to Gundam after they discover it in Side 7Char reaction to his captain and 2 other MS pilots dying was something like>we all want to erase the mistakes of our youthWhat kind of response is that? What does that have to do with anything? Who talks like that?I get that it's supposed to be foreshadowing for how Char himself feels about his youth (or maybe not, I'm just guessing) but it doesn't connect in any way to what just happened and everyone ignored him after he said it too. Just a bizarre scene and the anime was full of stuff like this
>>739171124Wrong, the actual reason Sayla doesn't show up again is simply because it doesn't make sense for her to show up again, she hated war and took the first opportunity she could to get away from it
>>739168275she shows up in ZZ tho.It's really more of a cameo than anything else though....
>>739177782only if you want a taste test of the series in a particular game. If you just want a mech tactical rpg play front mission instead
>>739179756He’s talking about how the subordinate was a hothead eager to prove himself and get commendation for capturing the prototype feddie suit. And died for his trouble. Char is essentially saying the guy got himself killed for disobeying orders. It’s not that hard
>>739179978Then why not just say that? I thought the guy was some old dishonored veteran trying to make up for whatever fuck up he did. If he's young then what mistake does he want to erase?This is what I mean by everyone speaking like robots emulating human emotions, the subtitles read like one of those parodies people make by running something through 15 different languages in google translate before going back to english and seeing how mangled it became
>>739160187She had a weird hat on - she had it coming.
